I love
every ammonite[^2]
weeping
from the Portals of Creation,
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHq4uWFDaY
the melancholy of meadows
levigating
the Steles of Dracaena[^3] resin,
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2LSdqf26x
the hoarfrost
sleeting
in the Dwell of Rustles.
You are
the Eternal Irbis
that breaches dunes
in my wrists,
the Desert Rose
that, caustic,
germinates its parched winds.
